Last night, or this morning, recently, Tyus Jones announced his intentions to enter the NBA draft. That leaves Duke with a roster of seven players.
Things are not quite so thinned out at Kentucky, where they have ten players currently part of the 2015/16 roster.
Both of these already included committed recruits by the way. That means that just between these two schools there are NINE spots available for more recruits.
Kansas: Three more openings.
So what's out there? Rivals top 150 for 2015 has SIX five star players left uncommitted.
#2 Jaylen Brown: Kentucky, Kansas, Eight total teams with medium interest that have offered.
#3 Malik Newman: Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Fourteen total teams with medium interest that have offered.
#5 Thon Maker: Duke, Kansas, Twelve total teams with medium interest that have offered.
#7 Cheick Diallo: Kansas, Four total teams with medium interest that have offered.
#11 Stephen Zimmerman: Kansas, Kentucky, Seven total teams with medium interest that have offered.
#19 Brandon Ingram: Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Six total teams with medium interest that have offered.
I didn't delve too deep into articles claiming any particular leanings. Just looking at the bigger picture. Newman, Maker and Ingram have got to be getting the ultimate blitz from Duke.
I included Kansas as they have their mitts into all six of these kids. And of course Kentucky being who they are........
And one can't count out the Ohio State's, Indiana's and whoever else is present in the battles for one kid here or there on the list.
What it all means, is too many mouths and not enough food, even among the elites.
